This Procedure Letter (PL) transmits proposed revisions to the reimbursement process for the JFS 01350, Foster Caregiver Training Stipend and Recommending Agency Training Allowance Invoice. Effective July 1, 2011, the invoicing process is automated through SACWIS for all public children services agencies (PCSAs).

The following is a brief explanation of the proposed changes:

• Beginning with the training date of July 1, 2011, all PCSAs shall process the JFS 1350 invoice for reimbursement through the State Automated Child Welfare Information System (SACWIS). Any PCSA invoices for training dates prior to July 1, 2011 should be sent via the current manual process for reimbursement.
• All private child placing agencies (PCPAs) and private noncustodial agencies (PNAs) are anticipated to be able to process their JFS 01350 invoices electronically through SACWIS. Until such notification from ODJFS, PCPAs and PNAs shall process their JFS 01350 invoices via the current manual process.

If you have any questions regarding this PL, please contact Lisa Howard at Lisa.Howard@jfs.ohio.gov or (614)752-0266.
